Surveillance cameras

I have these neighbors in my back who I think killed 5 of my trees and I
seen a lawyer and it would be more trouble than it is worth so I need to get
Surveillance cameras. What would be a good Surveillance cameras system? The
problem is pointing them because my yard is full of trees so maybe I should
hide them or put them in full view for a deterrent but then they will say
"you're invading my privacy". It's a real mess. I don't dare let my dog go
outside by herself because these people I don't trust. Thank god they are
only here for 6 months. I'm really trying to keep this legal and not let it
get out of hand. If someone was to poison your dog it might not make it to
court and that is what I'm trying to avoid. Any suggestions?

What makes you think they are killing your trees? Are you finding
broken ballons next to your trees with remnants of some sulfite, salt,
vinegar, or glycol on them? Do they change their engine oil and let it
spill onto your lawn (or theirs if your trees are overly close to the
property line or fence so the roots are in their back yard)? So just
how far away are these unidentified types of trees from their property?
Are they perhaps severely pruning the branches that are hanging over
their property?

You sure you don't have moles that are damaging and exposing tree roots?
Does the ground feel soft in the area? I haven't found a good mole
killer (other than trying to gas them out) but you can reduce or
eliminate them by getting rid of their food supply (which are grubs and
worms, and spraying mineral oil will kill the worms which means the
moles move elsewhere). Since I got cats (4 of them, all rescues), the
problem is much less this year with them catching the shrews. One of
them is so proud that he brings it over while yowling and tossing it in
the air to me to show me his prize - and he catches them while wearing a
belled collar! Have you inspected the leafs on these trees to check for
infestation, like finding little holes in them? Do you know WHAT is
killing or did kill your trees?

Is there a clear delineation between the properties, like a fence? I
don't what else would constitute legal demarcation of your property
lines so that trespassing could even be considered. If you don't erect
your own fence and instead rely on theirs for demarcation, it is
probably (or should be) a foot on their side of the property line. You
might get something in writing from the other landowner regarding your
use of their property if just using their fence. Since these neighbors
are only around for another 6 months, does that mean they are renters or
they are moving out (and you're just guessing that they might sell their
home in half a year)?

If you have a fence but it isn't tall, it might be cheaper or easier to
get the tall lath fencing that is wired together and you lash it to your
existing fence. Box them out by making highly obtrusive a tall and
opaque fence. Find out from your city what is the maximum height for a
fence (some have ordinances regarding maximum height for security walls
and fences). If their back yard is small, it'll look even tinier with
your high fence.

Do you feed your dog inside or outside? If inside, might be time to
consider training the dog not to eat whatever it finds laying in the
yard that the neighbor might hurl over. However, it only takes
something like a tablespoon of anti-freeze to kill a dog, so by the time
they test it, it'll be too late to them for back off due to their
training.

Don't point the cameras at the trees with their yard in the background.
Put the cameras to the side at the back corners of your yard and point
them across your yard to watch along the back perimeter of your
boundary. If you put them at eye level and pointing at a gentle
downward angle, they can squawk all they want about privacy but they
aren't legally entitled to anymore privacy than if you or anyone was
standing in your yard and looking in their direction. That's why many
cities have ordinances mandating that you must affix window treatments
(blinds, shades, curtains) to your windows when you move into a
residence. You can get fined and charged for public nudity and having
sex in front of children if you do it by an uncovered window. You could
put the camera on your house eave and pointing down at your back yard.
Again, anything it sees of their back yard is what you could see so they
don't get any more privacy that what anyone looking around your yard and
house windows might see. Come to think of it, you might consider adding
some backyard flood lights that come on at dusk.

You might want to encase the cameras in a thick Lexan enclosure to
withstand the barrage of bricks and sledgehammers, along with drilling
holes in the end of the metal support pipe in which to stick metal rods
to act like an anchor while pouring concrete around the pipe so it
becomes impossible for a human to yank out the pole. Or you could hide
them inside a birdhouse and buy some garbage cameras from the Goodwill,
Salvation Army, or a surplus store that don't work so you don't care if
they get smashed, and record your neighbor bashing the dummy cameras.

Just poison them first. The bastards killed your trees and they got it
comin'.

Stupid people missapply herbicides all the fucking time.
Our neighbors killed a couple of shrubs since they're lazy and would rather
spray than use a weedeater...

And that makes it ok because?

If you have a lot of friends who like to drink...hold loud late night parties
&invite them over.

Be sure and hire any band that claims they are "really good".
